- [6192998-031](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6192998-031) [condition/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Formal mechanism design alone is insufficient for decentralized systems; the security analysis depends on honest agents also detecting citation rings, downranking colluding submissions, and applying penalties, so formal mechanisms must be combined with emergent social enforcement.

- [6192998-032](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6192998-032) [mechanism/argued] -- Multi agent competition improves attack resistance because it creates multiple attack surfaces that must all succeed simultaneously, and citation transparency makes collusion detectable; with a fifty percent quality penalty for detected collusion the corruption cost doubles relative to the original framework.
  > This improved security stems from multi-agent competition creating multiple attack surfaces that must all succeed simultaneously, combined with citation transparency enabling collusion detection.
